The African Slave Trade 1850.

Abstract:

Report from the Select Committee of the House of Lords appointed to consider the best means which Great Britain can adopt for the final Extinction of the African Slave Trade. Presented in Session 1850. That the committee have met and considered the Subject Matter to them referred.
In following out the Inquiry intrusted to them as to the Most effectual means for suppressing the African slave Trade, have felt it to be their duty, first to examine the means hitherto employed for this end; to ascertain the amount of success which had attended their employment; whether they could be rendered more effectual, and if so, by what mans; the objections urged against them; and whether any other means could be devised either as substitutes for these, or as necessary to them.
